    About this ebook

    This is where we live, this land of the living. Our days are filled with experiences, which become memories. Throughout our journey we experience happiness and sadness, war and peace; we find love and are broken by its power. Our lives are stories and, whether we like them or not, they are our stories. This collection of stories reminds us that we live our stories together - in The Land of the Living.
